Testimonial lately presented to the Rev. E. Coleridge by Old Etonians, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Testimonial lately presented to the Rev. E. Coleridge by Old Etonians, 1858. Gift for a school teacher...on the occasion of his retiring from the tutorship which he had held...for upwards of thirty-two years. In that important field of duty Mr. Coleridge laboured with remarkable energy and success, and he had the satisfaction not only of seeing many whom he had trained attain to eminence and distinction in their various careers, but also of retaining their warm feelings of personal regard and attachment to himself in after life...the very elegant candelabrum and other articles...were the workmanship of Messrs. Widdowson and Veale, of the Strand...The...candelabrum [is] of a novel and elegant design, the branches uniting with the stem forming a continuous and elegant outline, dividing at the top into six sconces for lights, the smaller scrolls supporting a richly-perforated basket, containing a glass for flowers; and four dessert-dishes...The larger pieces are enriched with groups of deer and horses, very carefully modelled, resting under ample vine foliage. The two smaller are formed of the vine only...The candelabrum is inscribed as follows: "A token of gratitude and affection from his old pupils to Edward Coleridge. Eton, 1858". From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a testament of gratitude and affection presented to the Reverend Edward Coleridge by his former students at Eton College in 1858. The occasion marked his retirement from his esteemed role as a tutor, which he had devotedly served for over thirty-two years. In the significant sphere of education, Mr. Coleridge's labor was marked by remarkable energy and success. His efforts bore fruit as he witnessed numerous students he had mentored reach great heights in their respective careers, while retaining their heartfelt personal regard and attachment towards him. The elegant candelabrum and accompanying articles, displayed prominently in the photograph, were meticulously crafted by Messrs. Widdowson and Veale, a renowned firm based in the Strand. The candelabrum, of a unique and sophisticated design, boasts six sconces for lights, each branch seamlessly merging with the stem to form an elegant outline. The smaller scrolls support a richly perforated basket, containing a glass for flowers, while the larger pieces exhibit intricate groups of deer and horses resting under ample vine foliage. The two smaller pieces are adorned with the vine alone. The candelabrum is inscribed with a heartfelt message from the old pupils, reading "A token of gratitude and affection from his old pupils to Edward Coleridge. Eton, 1858." This beautiful testament to Reverend Coleridge's dedication and impact on his students stands as a poignant reminder of the profound influence educators can have on the lives of their pupils.
